Why bother, take just one important issue EVERYBODY agree on was NOT to reduce the setbacks on WETLANDS. Did the BOCC listen, NOPE NADA didn't care what the Advisory Planning Board said or recommended. Being on any advisory board is just being a RINO Recognition In Name Only
If the board amends the wetlands regulations, they'll do so without the approval of the Manatee County Planning Commission, which voted 4-2 last week against recommending any changes.
The four planning commissioners who opposed said they either couldn’t see how the changes benefited the public or that they did not have enough information to make a decision.
That meeting was well attended by residents who came to weigh in on the issue. https://www.wusf.org/environment/2023-08-16/manatee-county-proposed-changes-developers-build-closer-wetlands
The BOCC is bought, sold and instructed what to do on all matters concerning development. VOTE THEM OUT especially is the vote is after lunch when the developers handlers had a chance to instruct them on how to vote. This BOCC has been one big disappointment to the citizens of Manatee County. WTF aka Welcome To Florida
